Construction Dispute Resolution – Managing the Process: A Discussion about Best Practices (8 May 2018)
Speakers: Mr. Edwin Lee, Mr. Ho Chien Mien, Mr. Eugene Tan Chair: Mr. Mohan Pillay
Four Senior Accredited Specialists in Building and Construction Law came together on 8 May 2018 to share their experiences in managing construction disputes and explore best practices.
Chaired by Mr Mohan Pillay, the seminar started off with a discussion by Mr Edwin Lee about the importance of Scott and Redfern Schedules in facilitating efficient organisation of information in large, complex construction disputes, which often involve voluminous sets of information and documents.
Mr Ho Chien Mien then spoke about experts – a common feature in most construction disputes – and how to use them efficiently in legal proceedings. This included issues ranging from the choice of experts, to how best to present expert evidence particularly in the context of “hot-tubbing” during proceedings.
The Anatomy of Concurrent Evidence or Witness Conferencing, aka ‘Hot Tubbing’ (28 March 2018)
The Anatomy of Concurrent Evidence or Witness Conferencing, aka ‘Hot Tubbing’ seminar was held on 28 March 2018 at The Central (Clarke Quay). The seminar was chaired by Mr. Chia Chor Leong and the guest speaker was former District Court Judge, Professor Leslie Chew, SC.
Not only did Professor Chew give a broad and robust lecture on the nature, effectiveness and operation of ‘witness conferencing’, he also gave his own pointers about how a fact-finder could apply ‘witness conferencing’ to greater effectiveness in court and in arbitration hearings.
